What’s frustrating is having a percentage of my Social Security deducted because I receive a pension as a retired teacher. To prevent “double dipping”. As if I hadn’t paid into SSI. But I’m on a path of disentanglement from the worldwide sticky web, so it’s not really frustrating.

Thanks to both of you. Jeez, to have to pay in for Medicare and not receive any income from SS would be pretty frustrating. Yes, I’m not there yet, but thinking and looking ahead. Appreciate the information from both of you!

p.s. I don’t think SS will “run out” either, but they might fold it into some sort of UBI, and possibly put unacceptable requirements for continuing to receive it, so I’m aggressively investing and probably starting an online biz (all within my religious trusts) to make sure I have assets and income enough that I can tell them to keep their…

All of this is quite new to me, but I am curious how or if it works for those who wish to “follow this sort of path”, but are currently receiving social security?
